Baseball opens with Billikens on Friday
TULSA, Okla. - The Oral Roberts baseball team finally takes to the field on Friday as they host defending Atlantic 10 regular season champions Saint Louis in a three game set. First pitch of the 2013 season is set 3 p.m. at J.L. Johnson Stadium.
There are a lot of expectations for both programs heading into the season, as the Golden Eagles take 15 consecutive Mid-Continent/Summit League championships into the powerful Southland Conference, and the Billikens continue to grow with the expectation of reaching a NCAA regional and defending their A-10 title.
The Billikens return seven starters from a year ago, including two impact seniors at the plate in Alex Kelly and Grant Nelson who finished 2012 with .326 and .314 averages, respectively. They are complimented on the mound by fellow senior Alex Alemann who is just one win shy of the Saint Louis school record for wins.
Between the two programs, the six probable starters combined for a total of 59 victories last season. The trio of Drew Bowen, Kurt Giller and Alex Gonzalez with the Golden Eagles tallied 19 victories, while Alemann, junior Clay Smith and sophomore Nick Bates earned 20 wins for the Billikens.
Previously members of the Midwestern City Conference, the Golden Eagles lead the overall series against the Billikens, 24-1, with the lone SLU victory coming in the first matchup in 1973.
Game two of the series is set to begin at 2 p.m. on Saturday, while the final contest is schedule for 1 on Sunday afternoon.

Dale Mitchell Wins MLHS Survivor: The "Getting To Know You" Edition
This is why I don't like doing prospect profiles. Call it the "Curse of GB".
2008-09′s semi-popular "Getting To Know You" series featured six players who were (at the time) prospects Leafs' fans were excited about.
One by one, five of these prospects were gradually moved out of the system voted off the team, culminating in yesterday's decision to not qualify Phil Oreskovic.
The result? Dale Mitchell is your MLHS "Getting To Know You" Survivor!

Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
Bobby Fischer Against the World is a fascinating rise and fall portrait of a man that struggled with genius, fame and mental illness. From his troubled childhood to his triumphant victory over the Soviet world champion Boris Spassky in 1972 and concluding with his final days living in national disgrace and exile, Fischer captivated the world with both his extraordinary aptitude for chess and his often peculiar public image. A fair and balanced documentary that presents the perspectives and recollections of those who knew him best throughout his life, Fischer's tumultuous story is both sad and bewildering.

I'm disappointed with this lotion...

Posted by Reviewer1983032 From Brazil on Nov 09, 2010
Purchased at iHerb
It smells good in tube, but stinks on the skin. I would like to know why the smell changes. In the tube it smells like coconut with pineapple, but on the skin it smells like incense with tobacco. Horrible! Besides, it leaves my skin greasy and sticky. Although the high rates, I'm very disappointed with this body lotion...
Yummy smell!

I just love to slather this on and enjoy the light coconut fragrance. I have tried other coconut products from the local stores and they just don't have the fragrance and feel of this. They also have many other ingredients such as petroleum products. I love this lotion! Only drawback is that you have to wipe it off the palms of your hands after applying to your body if you don't want to be smooth and gliding over your computer keyboard!

Before buying I read the reviews and everyone said it smelled so good, but I think it stinks (on me anyway!) and it's really thin so it doesn't moisturize either. Don't like it at all.

Posted by Reviewer1147366 From Japan on Dec 19, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
so if you love an earthy coconut smell, you will not like this. This is more like bubble gum coconut... very sweet and has a pineapple like smell.. I LOVE an earthy coconut smell so this wasn't my liking. But the cream is gentle, doesn't make my itch or break out, since I started to use vegan products (alot doesn't have lasting scents..) I wanted a coconut cream scent that would last on my skin so I am using this as an alternetive. the price is awesome for the size. but still looking for the earthy coconut scent.. パイナップルとココナッツのような甘い匂い。土っぽいココナッツが好きなのであまり好みではありませんでした。でもこの値段でこのサイズ!!すばらしいと思います。動物実験もしてないし、入ってる物も市販の物よりはるかに良いし、甘いココナッツが好きな方には最高だと思います。肌に優しいです。

Rick's Camaros is your one-stop shop for 1986 Camaro parts. The 1986 Camaro was a Third Generation F-Body Camaro, spanning from years 1982-1992. 1986 included the Sport Coupe, Z28 Sport Coupe, IROC-Z Coupe, and Berlinetta. With the 4-speed manual transmission being discontinued, all models had 5-speed manual transmissions as base equipment; however the 305ci, 190hp Z28-only option required automatic transmission. All Sport Coupe models came with upgraded sport suspension, styled wheels with trim rings, raise black lettered tires, retuned exhaust with dual tail pipes, black sport mirrors, revised exterior trim, power steering and brakes, and AM radio. While the Berlinetta was available at the beginning of 1986 production, it was discontinued after suffering from a controversial instrument panel setup. New options for all 1986 Camaros included fog lamps that were included with the IROC-Z package, an automatic inside rearview mirror, and central high-mount stop lamps to comply with federal regulations. All exterior paint colors had new codes due to a new base-coat, clear-coat paint process.

We love this school. Our son is going to begin his second year and we plan to enroll his younger brother next fall. I even bought a home for my family in the area so we could be closer. We previously drove from Marietta. Wonderful find.
Awesome school. I could not be happier. I plan to have my daughter finish through first grade(she is three now). She has only been enrolled since August, she knows all of the continents, most states, many songs, months, etc., etc.

In the days leading up to a critical vote by the Securities and Exchange Commission, accounting experts are wondering whether the regulator is rushing to open the floodgates for more widespread use of International Financial Accounting Standards.
On Thursday, the SEC will decide whether to eliminate its requirement for international companies to reconcile their IFRS-prepared financial statements with GAAP. In the meantime, the regulator has been collecting feedback on its idea of giving U.S. companies the same choice. By giving global firms the option, the SEC's thinking went, U.S.-domiciled businesses — particularly multinationals — would surely want the same treatment.
However, that concept has scared some observers into worrying that the SEC is moving too fast with its push for IFRS. They wonder if enough thought has been put into the future of GAAP, the ongoing GAAP/IFRS convergence project, and the Financial Accounting Standards Board's role.
In fact, FASB itself isn't confident about its position in a world where IFRS dominates. "As the king of GAAP, it's like contemplating your own mortality," Robert Herz said of his role as FASB chairman during a roundtable discussion on international accounting standards at New York University's Stern School of Business on Monday. "But you have to move on."
In a letter written by the board and its trustees, FASB suggested it may lose its standing as the official standard-setter of the accounting rules that U.S. public companies use. Instead, the 34-year-old group could turn into either a standard-setter just for private companies and nonprofits, an IFRS educator, or a far-flung adviser to the International Accounting Standards Board.
Those scenarios for FASB's future role were also brought up by other commentators. For example, KPMG said the board could become a liaison between IASB and U.S. companies. PricewaterhouseCoopers figures FASB could offer the SEC recommendations when IFRS standards are modified and could at least continue to be the standard-setter for private companies.
For the most part, the major accounting firms seem in favor of the SEC's proposal. They consider it an inevitable move on the SEC's part to eventually require companies to adopt IFRS. The Center for Audit Quality, which speaks on behalf of more than 800 firms, told the SEC that the current version of IFRS is already a "reputable" set of standards.
To be sure, with so many questions left to be answered, critics of the SEC's so-called concept release for allowing the IFRS choice are concerned about timing. Would allowing a dual report system in the U.S. wreck the convergence efforts to create one set of strong global accounting standards? Or should that concern be pushed aside in favor of competitive concerns between U.S. multinational companies and their overseas counterparts?
For the near future, the SEC commissioners' decision on Thursday could introduce a tiny preview into what a dual reporting system would look like in the United States, possibly as early as 2009. At the most, it could affect 180 foreign private issuers. On the other hand, giving U.S. companies the IFRS option — the idea explored in the SEC concept release — would obviously have much broader implications.

The completion of Canada's first transcontinental railway line gave tourists direct access to the Canadian Rockies. From 1885 onwards, these mountain ranges became a photographic fascination; railway companies and government departments commissioned photos for promotional purposes and tourists created and purchased photographic souvenirs. Ultimately, photography helped make mountains synonymous with the Canadian West.

Hi Folks,
I did my first BFL about 10 years ago and at the time on this website I'm sure there were videos of Bill doing the exercises. Was hoping to locate those but haven't been able to thus far, does anyone know if they still exist and if I'm just having trouble finding them? Or maybe they've been removed...
We no longer have video demos, but there are computer generated animations available online. Check then out here: bodyforlife.com/.../tools
Hope that helps!
~Tiffany, the BFL Team
Thanks Tiffany! Those are pretty useful.

Suite 300
Madeira Beach, FL 33708
Eye Disease Linked to Weakened Brain Power in People with DiabetesPosted: Sunday, March 21, 2010
Diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of blindness in the working-age population, could be associated with poorer memory and diminished brain power in people with Type 2 diabetes, according to new research.
The study looked at 1,066 people with Type 2 diabetes aged between 60 and 75 years old. Participants completed seven tests looking at memory, logic and concentration to establish their level of brain function. Those with retinopathy had worse average scores on most of the individual tests as well as on general cognitive ability compared to those without the condition. The results were independent of age and gender.
Ms. Jie Ding from the University of Edinburgh, UK, who helped lead the research (as part of the Edinburgh Type 2 Diabetes Study), said, "These findings suggest that the severity of diabetic retinopathy is independently associated with cognitive dysfunction in people with Type 2 diabetes aged between 60 and 75 years old. This can mean either that cerebral microvascular disease, as indexed by retinopathy, may lead to cognitive decrements in old age or that poorer cognitive ability makes diabetes management more difficult, and in turn promotes the development of cerebral microvascular disease. It is also possible that a third unidentified factor is causing both diabetic retinopathy and the cognitive changes.
"The 4-year follow-up data of the ET2DS may clarify the temporal relationship of these associations. The seven neuropsychological tests assessed people's memory for faces, recollection of linear stories, vocabulary, the ability to re-organise a sequence of letters as well as some other cognitive functions.
"The results provide insights into the specific underlying mechanism of cognitive dysfunction in Type 2 diabetes, which is possibly due to a break-down of blood brain barrier (similar to changes in blood-retinal barrier as seen in diabetic retinopathy). From a clinical perspective, cognitive impairment in Type 2 diabetes may therefore be amenable to treatment and preventive strategies targeted at this small vessel disease."
Dr. Iain Frame, Director of Research at Diabetes UK, said: "Retinopathy is an indicator of cerebral microvascular disease, which is when the small blood vessels in the brain are narrowed or blocked off and lead to a reduction in blood supply to the brain tissues. There is already evidence to suggest that cerebral microvascular disease and Type 2 diabetes may exacerbate the effects of aging on cognitive function. This study adds to this body of research as it suggests that diabetic retinopathy is linked to estimated life time cognitive decline in older people with Type 2 diabetes."
"Cognitive decline is the decline of brain functions such as memory, attention, and planning."
The study found that participants with moderate to severe retinopathy performed worse in the non-verbal memory, mental flexibility and processing speed tests compared to those with mild or no retinopathy. It also suggested that the male participants with moderate to severe retinopathy may be more prone to cognitive decline in old age.

I am not familiar with unschooling, but I have an interest in learning more, I will check out the websites. Would a Montessori school be similar? I know that is more child led than regular schools. Unfortunately I will have to send my DD to school, most likely a private school, since our town has the worst schools in our state, or the town next door. I have to work full-time. I do have one question. Wouldn't TV be bad? I saw someone post they had unrestricted TV viewing?

Rangers pull sweep of Bulldogs
No, the Unaka Rangers weren't stranded on Gilligan's Island in their Watauga Valley Conference match with Hampton Friday night at VanHuss-White Gym, but they faced an "uphill climb" just the same.
Trailing for three quarters of the contest, Unaka (12-8 overall, 4-2 WVC) got the play that turned the tide in its favor when senior Andrew Long stole an inbounds pass from the Bulldogs — and the Rangers pulled out a 68-65 upset to take sole possession of second place and a season sweep of Hampton.
"These kids came into a tough environment and they came in with the right attitude," stated Rangers head coach Aaron Dugger. "They have been through a lot and for them to come in here and play the way they did speaks volumes. The play Andrew made was huge.
"He's another one of those guys that accepts his role on the team, and he is a lockdown defender. And anytime we need a big play defensively, he answers the call."

After recording two record highs over the weekend, we're going to get wet and cool off today.
A cold front moving from southwest to northeast will bring waves of rain that's heavy at times.
The fog is dense outside this morning, and we are seeing reduced visibility.
And things will be getting much colder heading into the holiday.
Our FOX Futurecast shows the rain heavy at times through mid-morning and it starts to crank up down towards the south. Showers will linger mainly to the south and east through 10 p.m., but it will clear out quickly. We will see skies clear overnight.
Expect to see a half-inch to an inch for all of us, perhaps over an inch in Philadelphia. So, nothing too terrible, but it will still be a soggy Monday forecast.
Temperatures this morning were at 60 degrees and falling. It will be much cooler by this evening once that front passes.
A few flurries are possible Tuesday afternoon. Otherwise, it's just turning colder with a high of just 43 degrees.
It will be a cold but dry holiday, so good for travel, but just 33 for a high.
Your extended forecast shows we will stay dry with temperatures slowly moderating through the 30s and back into the 40s, FOX 29 Meteorologist Caitlin Roth says.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Assembly instructions
Attach the Jig board to the beam with three allen-head woodscrews. An allen wrench is supplied.
The Jig board has ten threaded inserts. Install four swivel-head levelers extending upward as guitar body supports, and two extending downward at the front corners of the board to level the Jig on your workbench. Install the wing nuts to lock all the levelers in place.
Install the plastic caps on the neck support rods, and round the ends of the orange caps with sandpaper (the black cap for the peghead support rod needs no shaping). Install the neck support rods and the black thumbscrews that lock them in place in the beam.
Install the eyebolt in the Jig beam. The thumbnut threads onto the eyebolt below the beam. Install the peghead pull-down strap in the eyebolt.
Install the dial indicators on the beam's threaded bolts, using one nut below and one nut above the bracket on each dial indicator. The dials may need to be moved up or down on the bolts later when a guitar is jigged, to help position the dial indicator caps under the back of the guitar neck. (The bolts are set deep into the beam. Turn them out with locking pliers to gain additional height.)
Two wooden slats are supplied to give additional support to acoustic guitars. Self-adhesive cork is supplied for attaching to the slats, to help protect the guitar's finish.
Cut small pieces of the cork to fit the top and bottom surfaces of the peghead support jack.
Jigging a guitar: notes from Dan Erlewine
The Neck Jig lets you do your fretwork with the same forces that are present under string tension. It's not necessary to loosen the truss rod to straighten the neck for leveling the fingerboard or frets.
A guitar body is held firmly on the Neck Jig's adjustable height levelers, with nylon straps as clamps. The guitar neck remains free, as the Neck Jig and guitar are tilted toward 90 degrees into the "playing position." Here, with the strings tuned to pitch, the neck is adjusted (usually straight) for the type of fretwork you are about to do. The dial indicators touching the back of the neck are set to zero.
The Neck Jig is then returned to the horizontal working position. When the strings are removed, the neck "backbows" from the release of string tension and the pressure of the truss rod (if the neck has one). The peghead jack and the peghead "pull-down" are adjusted to recreate string tension. This forces the neck back into position until the dial indicators read zero again. Finally, the plastic-capped support rods are raised against the back of the neck for fret or fingerboard leveling.
A note about acoustic guitars: Before fastening an acoustic guitar (especially a flattop) into the Neck Jig, consider the guitar's construction. An acoustic guitar must be supported and clamped only in the areas of the strong joint between the sides, back and kerfing—not on the weak areas of the back!
Though some guitar models, Martin Dreadnoughts for example, will align safely on the levelers with support directly under the edge joint, others (such as the Gibson pictured) won't. Therefore, we recommend using the supplied wooden support slats to span the levelers. Adhesive-backed cork is supplied for padding the slats. Center the main hold-down strap over the guitar's waist and tighten it only enough to hold the body firmly. Do the same for the strap over the lower bout.
It's easier to level the frets, or the fretboard, when the guitar's nut is out of the way. If you're planning to replace the nut, remove it before you jig the guitar. Most refret jobs require a new nut.
Hold the guitar body over the Neck Jig and determine where the neck aligns lengthwise over the beam, and which posts will support it best.
If necessary, position the wooden supporting slats to span the front and rear levelers.
With levelers (and slats) installed, set the guitar body on them. Use a padded sandbag as temporary ballast to hold the guitar as you level it on the slats. Center the back of the neck over the support rods and the dial indicators. Adjust the body height with the levelers, so that the fingerboard is approximately level with the beam.
The guitar should be as close to the board and beam as possible, but be sure that the dial indicator plungers are engaged at least two dial-turns. The peghead should be over the peghead pull-down bolt in the beam, with sufficient clearance for the peghead jack. Remove the peghead jack and the pull-down strap after checking. The neck can be supported temporarily with the plastic-capped support rods, but when you tighten the body down, the support rods must not touch the neck.
The dial indicator support rods can be unthreaded from the beam for more height if necessary.
Place the hold-down strap across the guitar's waist, pass it under the beam, and thread it through the slotted hub of the ratchet. The ratchet opens toward you, with the strap connection at the top. The ratchet can be positioned above or below the Jig board; if below, be sure it doesn't jam on the table. Close the ratchet and snug the strap loosely.
Protect the guitar's finish with scraps of paper where the strap wraps the corners of the instrument. Some guitars will require two straps if they shift on the levelers.
Before tightening the straps, lower the neck support rods away from the neck. Tighten the straps gradually until the guitar body is snug on the levelers.
With the guitar tuned to pitch, move the Neck Jig onto its side in the playing position. Resting on a table, the Jig's front leg helps steady it. Adjust the neck for fret leveling or dressing: ideally, the truss rod should make the neck backbow when tightened and show relief when loosened. The neck should be straight for your fret work.
Set each dial to zero by turning the indicator's outer ring. The steel arrows slide around the perimeter and can be set to record a location. The thumbscrew locks the outer ring.
Return the Neck Jig to the horizontal working position and remove the guitar's strings. Adjust the peghead jack until it fits loosely between the beam and the end of the peghead. Install the peghead pull-down strap loosely.
The neck will backbow with the strings removed, and the dial settings will no longer be zeroed. In our case, the dial nearest the nut has compressed .031" and the dial nearest the body has compressed .008". These are typical readings.
Jack the peghead up a little until the frontmost dial reads zero again, and then tighten down the peghead strap until the rear dial is zeroed. Go back and forth between these adjustments, and squeeze the peghead pull-down strap to remove slack, until both dials remain at zero. (Note: You may not always get perfect zeros. If the peghead jack and pull-down strap don't zero the dials, use your straightedges, and your memory of what the fingerboard looked like in the playing position, and force the neck into the same configuration.)
When the neck is re-zeroed to your satisfaction, slide the plastic-capped support rods up against the back of the neck. The rods keep the neck from flexing while you level the frets or the fretboard.
In the photo I'm using a radius block to give a uniform radius to all the frets. After the guitar has been leveled for a fret-dress job, fretted and leveled for a refret job, or for whatever fretwork you are doing, you can remove it from the Jig and finish the details at your workbench. The guitar can remain in the Neck Jig throughout a fret job if you don't hammer the frets—the support rods could dent the back of the neck. The frets can be pressed or clamped in place with a variety of tools instead.
Body block idea for the Erlewine Neck Jig
An easy-to-make accessory for bolt-on necks
A body block is handy when you're working with bolt-on necks.
This wooden block holds a bolt-on guitar or bass neck, giving easy access to the truss rod nut. You can make adjustments to the neck while the guitar body is safely out of the way in its case. This gives lots of room to work on the high frets over the body without any chance of your file nicking the guitar. When you have the neck adjusted the way you like it, you're ready to bolt it back onto the body. Any 3"-thick hardwood or plywood will make a good body block.

Timor Leste cause upset; Myanmar win
Timor Leste gave their AFF Suzuki Cup qualifying rivals a real warning on Friday with a 5-1 demolition of Cambodia.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
Considering they are currently the worst-ranked team in Southeast Asia, many expected O Sol Nascente to struggle against their more-experienced opponents.
However, they made a mockery of those pre-qualification predictions by racing to a 2-0 lead before halftime thanks to a brace from Murilo de Almeida.
The Persiraja Banda Aceh striker opened the scoring in the 39th minute when he sent a glancing header into the bottom corner, before planting a shot into the back of the net from inside the box just before the break.
And despite the comfortable lead, Timor Leste showed no signs of letting up in the second half, and piled on the goals courtesy of a Adelino double and a penalty from Alan Leandro.
Cambodia pulled one back in injury-time when they too were awarded a spot-kick, but Keo Sokngon's successful conversion proved to be a mere consolation.
In Friday's other qualifier, hosts Myanmar toiled to a 1-0 win over a resilient Brunei.
Following a goalless first half during which Myanmar enjoyed the majority of possession but Brunei created more chances, Yan Aung Win scored what proved to be the winner five minutes from time when he found the back of the net from just inside the box.
The qualifiers continue on Sunday when Myanmar play Timor Leste and Laos start their campaign with a match against Cambodia.
Friday's AFF Suzuki Cup Qualifying Results
Cambodia 1-5 Timor Leste

Historian Reveals Ben Franklin's Not-So-Famous Sister
Originally published on Mon October 7, 2013 6:08 pm
Benjamin Franklin is arguably the most famous American ever. His youngest sister Jane is mostly lost to history. But Harvard historian Jill Lepore found her in the letters she and her brother exchanged over their long lives. They were called Benny and Jenny and Benny wrote more letters to Jenny than he did to anyone else. Most of his survive; many of hers do not. Lepore's new book got an excellent review in The New York Times recently and it's already nominated for a National Book Award in nonfiction. Here & Now producer Alex Ashlock spoke to Lepore about the book.
Benjamin Franklin was the author of his own life. His youngest sister Jane was the author of other people's lives, according to historian Jill Lepore.
"It was for me an almost unbearable thing to write about," Lepore told me during a recent conversation at the Granary Burial Ground in Boston, where Ben and Jane's parents are buried. "She had 12 children. Many of them died as infants. Those who grew up to adulthood in many cases had children of their own, only to very soon after die and leave their children for Jane to raise. Her favorite granddaughter died in childbirth, leaving four children for Jane to take care of, in her 70s."
Lepore's new book is called "Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin" (excerpt below). It's the story of two 18th century lives. One we know a lot about; the other we don't but maybe should. The book is based on decades of correspondence Ben and Jane shared. He wrote more letters to her than he wrote to anyone else.
Ben Franklin also wrote his autobiography. Jane wrote what she called her Book of Ages. Lepore says it serves as her life story.
Jane Franklin died on Wednesday May 7, 1794. She was 83. The funeral was held in her home in Boston's North End on May 10. "Mourners must have been few," Lepore writes. "She had outlived almost everyone she'd ever loved."
No one really knows where she is buried.
Book Excerpt: 'Book of Ages'
by Jill Lepore
She learned to bake and to roast, to mend and to scrub. She learned to sew and to knit. She helped her mother tend the garden. She learned to dye. She helped her father in the shop, doing the work that her brother hated, "cutting Wick for the Candles, filling the Dipping Mold, and the Molds for cast Candles."
What more could she study? A Boston newspaper printed "A Dialogue between a thriving Tradesman and his Wife about the Education of Their Daughter." The wife wishes to send the girl to school. The husband refuses, telling her:
Prithee, good Madam, let her first be able,
To read a Chapter truly, in the Bible,
That she may'nt mispronounce God's People, Popel,
Nor read Cunstable for Constantinople;
Make her expert and ready at her Prayers,
That God may keep her from the Devils Snares;
Teach her what's useful, how to shun deluding,
To roast, to toast, to boil and mix a Pudding.
To knit, to spin, to sew, to make or mend,
To scrub, to rub, to earn and not to spend,
I tell thee Wife, once more, I'll have her bred
To Book'ry, Cook'ry, Thimble, Needle, Thread.
That Jane Franklin learned to write as well as she did was a twist of fate: she was her brother's sister. Mostly, she learned other things. She was bred to bookery and cookery, needle and thread.
She learned how to make soap. She once wrote down the family recipe. In a wooden box with a hole bored in the bottom and set over a tub filled with bricks, soak eighteen bushels of ashes and one bushel of lime with water. Leach lye. Then, in a copper pot, boil the lye with wax—"won third mirtle wax two thirds clean tallow the Greener the wax the beter," she wrote—and keep it from boiling over "by flirting the froith with a scimer." Stir in salt. "Be carefull not to Put two much salt in it will make it Britle." Line a mold with a cloth ("not too coars") and pour in the boiling soap: "keep it smoth on the top take care to let your Frame stand on a Level let care be taken when it is in that it Is not Jogd." Let it set overnight, and in the morning cut it "with a small wier fixed to a round stick at Each End." Use a gauge to make sure each cake is of equal weight and, if not, "Pare it fitt."
She lived a life of confinement. She never learned to ride. ("I hant courage to ride a hors," she once admitted.) If she left the city, it was with her mother, by boat, to visit the Folgers on Nantucket, where she played with her cousin Keziah. She spent her Sundays at the Old South Meeting House, listening to men's voices thundering from the pulpit. She ran errands, to the shops, to the docks, and to James's printing house, to visit her brothers. She visited her married sisters and helped care for their children, or they for her: some of her nieces and nephews were older than she was. She loved best her niece Grace.
Most days she spent at home, close to the fire. She was curious, and she could be untoward. But she was dutiful. She was pared to fit.
A girl's apprenticeship was girlhood itself. A boy's apprenticeship was a trade. In 1717, when Jane was five, her brother James came back from England and set up a printing shop in Boston, "over against the Prison in Queen Street."8 It was a godsend. Here at last was a trade for Benjamin, the bookish boy too poor to go to Harvard. In 1718, he became his brother's apprentice: a printer's devil. He moved into a room above James's shop. Benny was twelve; Jenny was six.
The best part of his apprenticeship, Franklin always said, was the chance it gave him to read. At the Blue Ball, he had only ever found in his father's library a few books he liked: Plutarch's Lives, "a Book of Defoe's called an Essay on Projects and another of Dr. Mather's call'd Essays to do Good." But working at a printer's shop was almost as good as working at a bookshop. "I now had Access to better Books," he remembered. "An Acquaintance with the Apprentices of Booksellers, enabled me sometimes to borrow a small one, which I was careful to return soon and clean. Often I sat up in my Room reading the greatest Part of the Night."
Jane Colman read all night long, too. Her father's house was stocked with books. She read "all the English Poetry, and polite Pieces in Prose, printed and Manuscripts in her Father's well furnish'd Library, and much she borrow'd of her Friends and Acquaintance. She had indeed such a Thirst after Knowledge that the Leisure of the Day did not suffice, but she spent whole Nights in reading."
Jane Franklin enjoyed neither the leisure of a minister's daughter nor the library of a printer's apprentice. What books she read were what books she found in the house of a poor soap boiler. "My Father's little Library consisted chiefly of Books in polemic Divinity," her brother had written. Her world of learning widened so far, and no farther.
Her brother resolved to be his own tutor. Determined to become a good writer, he trained himself by reading. The boy who wanted to become the author of his own life taught himself to write by copying the prose style he found in the Spectator. "I thought the Writing excellent, and wish'd if possible to imitate it," he explained. He read an essay, wrote an abstract, and then rewrote the argument from the abstract, to see if he could improve on the original. Then he rewrote the essays as poems since, he thought, "nothing acquaints a Lad so speedily with Variety of Expression, as the Necessity of finding such Words and Phrases as will suit with the Measure, Sound and Rhime of Verse, and at the same Time well express the Sentiment." He wrote rules, pledging himself to brevity ("a multitude of Words obscure the Sense"), clarity ("To write clearly, not only the most expressive, but the plainest Words should be chosen"), and simplicity: "If a Man would that his Writings have an Effect on the Generality of Readers, he had better imitate that Gentleman, who would use no Word in his Works that was not well understood by his Cook-maid." His cook-maid . . . or his little sister.
"Prose Writing has been of great Use to me in the Course of my Life," Franklin knew, "and was a principal Means of my Advancement." He would write his way up, and out.
Reading, he grew skeptical of his family's faith. The more books he read, the less he believed the Bible. "I was scarce 15," he remembered, "when, after doubting by turns of several Points as I found them disputed in the different Books I read, I began to doubt of Revelation itself."
He discovered, too, that he liked to argue. "My indiscrete Disputations about Religion began to make me pointed at with Horror by good People, as an Infidel or Atheist." He especially liked to debate, like "University Men," with "another Bookish Lad in the Town, John Collins by Name." They once debated "the Propriety of educating the Female Sex in Learning, and their Abilities for Study." Young Collins "was of Opinion that it was improper" and that girls "were naturally unequal to it." Franklin disagreed: "I took the contrary Side, perhaps a little for Disputes sake."
In crafting his argument, Franklin leaned on Defoe's Essay on Projects, one of the few books in his father's library that he liked. Defoe had proposed the establishment of an "Academy for Women": "I have often thought of it as one of the most barbarous Customs in the world, considering us as a Civilised and a Christian Countrey, that we deny the advantages of Learning to Women." Like Astell, Defoe regretted the frivolousness of girls' education: "Their youth is spent to teach them to Stitch and Sew, or make Bawbles. They are taught to Read indeed, and perhaps to Write their Names, or so; and that is the heighth of a Woman's Education." His Academy for Women was to embrace every subject: "To such whose Genius wou'd lead them to it, I wou'd deny no sort of Learning."
But, for all his Defoe, Franklin didn't win the argument. Collins, he admitted, "was naturally more eloquent, had a ready Plenty of Words, and sometimes . . . bore me down more by his Fluency than by the Strength of his Reasons." They parted without settling the question and continued the debate by letters. "Three or four Letters of a Side had pass'd," Franklin wrote, "when my Father happen'd to find my Papers, and read them. Without entering into the Discussion, he took occasion to talk to me about the Manner of my Writing, observ'd that tho' I had the Advantage of my Antagonist in correct Spelling and pointing (which I ow'd to the Printing House) I fell far short in elegance of Expression, in Method and in Perspicuity."
Spelling and pointing (punctuating) were genteel accomplishments; they date to the rise of printing. People used to spell however they pleased, even spelling their own names differently from one day to the next. Then came the printing press, and rules for printers: how to spell, how to point. More books meant more readers; more readers meant more writers. But only the learned, only the lettered, knew how to spell.
Franklin was a better speller than his friend Collins, and he could point better, too, but Collins proved a better debater. Be more precise, Josiah urged his son. Be plainer. On the question itself, he did not venture an opinion.
While Benny was improving his writing by arguing about the education of girls, Jenny was at home, boiling soap and stitching. Quietly, with what time she could find, she did more. She once confided to her brother, "I Read as much as I Dare."

It's HERE AND NOW.
When they were growing up, the family called them Benny and Jenny. Benny would become Benjamin Franklin, founding father. Jenny was Jane Franklin, his younger sister. As historian Jill Lepore writes, he loved no one longer, she loved no one better. And he wrote more letters to Jane than to anyone else. Jane wrote back even though she had no formal education. Women did not in those days.
Their letters formed "Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin." Jill Lepore's new book has been nominated for a National Book Award for nonfiction. HERE AND NOW's Alex Ashlock spoke with Jill Lepore near the Franklin Memorial, in the Granary Burial Ground. That's the colonial-era cemetery in Boston where Ben and Jane's parents are buried.
JILL LEPORE: Benjamin and Jane Franklin where the - he was the youngest boy and she was the youngest girl in a family of 17 children by two wives of Josiah Franklin, who was a soap boiler and candle maker, who had come to Boston from England. And of the 17 kids, they lived the longest. And for much of the - for the last decades of their lives, they were the only two Franklin children still to survive and they were closer than anyone else.
ALEX ASHLOCK, BYLINE: And they outlived, well, definitely in Jane's case, outlived their own children.
LEPORE: Yeah. Well, I mean, one of the things that's great about them is they really span the whole of the 18th century, which is just these epic moments in Western history, certainly in American history. And you can follow, over the course of their lives, everything happens to them. Most of them are things that Franklin is actually doing and responsible for and that Jane is a witness to. So it's a fantastic story. And it's traceable the whole way through because Franklin wrote more letters to his sister Jane than he wrote to anyone else. I mean, here's this man who corresponded with kings, you know? But he remained deeply loyal to this sister, I think, felt singularly responsible for her. So you - it this great, untold story of American letters.
ASHLOCK: And many of his letters survive but hardly really any of hers do. So how do you write a biography about somebody who you don't have a whole lot of information on or insight to? Or does that come in part from his letters to her?
LEPORE: It's a tricky biographical task. I came to think about it - so what happened is they wrote - they corresponded for 63 years. And the first three decades of that correspondence, all we have is Franklin's side of it. So, you know, you can kind of deduce what she had written in her letters because he'll say, in your last to me, you told me that our sister Mary had died. I'm so sorry to hear that. So, you know, you can sort of write in the negative space, but it's not the same as having her voice.
And I've thought about writing this project for years before I finally committed to it because it's really, in some ways, an almost insurmountable evidentiary dilemma. But then, I had this sort of insider ways through where I thought about binocular vision. You know, Franklin invented the bifocal and was one of the first people in the colonies to wear spectacles to do anything other than reading. You know, he made these special glasses. And Jane had glasses too. Franklin sent her spectacles. They had a brother who also wore glasses.
But Franklin had this idea that, you know, you could use this single pair of glasses to see both what was far away and what was up close, to both make things bigger and make things smaller. And I came to sort of think about writing this biography in that way, that Franklin was so big and looming. I mean, he's just - he's such a fascinating, endlessly...
ASHLOCK: He's like the original American, he's thought of.
LEPORE: Yeah. And he's just - he's funny. He's tender. He's brilliant. He's everything. You know, and Jane's life is full of such misery. And also, it's just a humble, quiet, ordinary life. It was very hard to think about having them both on the same page, especially when this enormous amount of sources about his life and this little trickle.
And so I really sort of started thinking about, what if I was wearing bifocals? You know, and every time I looked at her, I had to sort of amplify that. I had to magnify that a bit. And every time I looked at him, I had to make him a little bit smaller so that there could be a way to see both of them as equal before God, which is certainly how Jane understood their lives, as much as she admired her brother. She had this really quite radical 18th century notion of equality that, if for no other reason, her worth is worth excavating.
ASHLOCK: And she's forever apologizing for the way she writes when she writes letters to her brother. She doesn't really spell. She doesn't really spell, I guess, as he would. She's always apologizing for the quality of her writing.
LEPORE: She is abject before God. I mean, she has a kind of submission that's, I think, fundamentally different to a lot of modern subject - not the modern subject. But there is also, like, real cheekiness to it. And Franklin writes to her once, he says, you know, please stop apologizing for your writing. You write better, in my opinion, than any American woman. I think you must be just fishing for commendation. You know, and he's totally got her number because she's full of pride in the same way that Franklin is full of pride, and he's forever, you know, sort of shuffling around, pretending to be humble. And Franklin is just the most prideful, vain person. And, yeah, you know, he will admit this. So I have every kind of use for vanity. Vanity is a very useful thing.
ASHLOCK: Is there one letter that Jane wrote that you would want to mention or people would want - want people to think about, listeners to think about?
LEPORE: The letter that I love above all is one she wrote in 1786 when she's living in the North End in this little house that her brother had given to her. She had just been reading this book about providence, you know, the idea that everything that happens is fated by God, which had been the source of great comfort to her, the notion of providence all her life; that if her children died, it was fated by God for some good that she could not see. And she had really struggled with that notion, especially during the Revolution. One of her sons died soon after the Battle of Bunker Hill. And she wasn't sure that God had intended this, and she began to kind of question her faith.
Well, she read this book about providence in which Richard Price, this political radical who was very influential in the colonies, talked about that although it takes 300,000 acorns to make an elm tree, God had meant for that to be. But that didn't mean we couldn't grieve all the other trees that did not find soil. And she copied out a passage from this book as she was reading it in her letter to her brother. And I just love the way this woman is wrestling with a very learned philosophical idea and religious idea in the quiet of this room, a room she had only recently ever even had. She'd never had a room of her own before. Really just wrestling with the challenge of that idea.
ASHLOCK: You mentioned that you've put off writing this book but it was a book your mother always wanted you to write.
LEPORE: I really only finally, completely committed to finishing the book when I realized my parents were dying and that I suddenly - especially after my father died at the beginning of January of 2012, I had this incredible sense of urgency I must finish the book. And I didn't manage to finish it before my mother died. She died later that same year.
But I do like to think that the story that I had to tell is, like, maybe not as crazy and outsized as this giant, granite obelisk we're sitting next to here, a monument to Benjamin Franklin who is not buried here, but some much smaller, quieter monument to my mother and the life that she led.
ASHLOCK: Well, you even write that you're placing the book as if placing a stone on their grave.
LEPORE: Yes, which is an illusion to the inscription that Franklin wrote, Franklin who did not attend either his parents in their dying illnesses. Jane took care of them. Franklin who did not come to their burial. Jane buried them. He paid for a stone to be placed over their grave. And I think about what that must've meant to Jane to come here and mourn them, she who lived with her parents almost her whole life, raised her children in their house, to visit a monument placed by her brother who had run away at the age of 17 and almost never, ever come home.

Another amazing experience! – After giving birth 11 months ago, I had a much needed Body Scrub and Massage. It was very soothing and relaxing.

Great spa, great staff – I go here regularly and always have a positive experience. I'm a guy, so I know I'm not a typical spa-goer, but Faina has a great staff, and I am always relaxed after the body scrubs and massages, and even the facials and extractions are done in a relaxing atmosphere. The cost may be a little high compared to other places, but for me it's worth it because of the stress relief; I just save up a little longer for each visit. I recommend Faina to anyone looking to have a soothing break from the New York grind.
Amazing – I've gotten the European Facial at Faina twice now and have been thrilled with the results both times (like, I can't believe how much better my skins looks now). The staff is knowledgable, thorough, attentive (like clucking mother hens) and very, very skilled at what they do. It is more than worth the price for such fantastic results.
Best experience I've had in New York City thus far!! – This past weekend I didn't have my kids and decided to treat myself to a great facial and massage. Many friends recommended me to go to Faina European Day Spa near the heart of New York City. I went to their website and was intrigued by a package named "Body Beautifier." It consist of an aromatherapy body massage and a European deep pore cleansing facial with mango enzyme exfoliating face treatment. The massage was amazing and made me feel like a million bucks! The therapist was very kind and knew where my kinks were. The facial made my skin feel radiant and young again.
I loved how I felt physically and relaxed. I was interested in buying a series of facials and massages. The young, beautiful woman at the front desk was a lot of help in choosing what was best for me.
I highly recommend
this place and would go no where else. I've had my trial and errors at other spas and have finally found the one for me!

Whitt Claims Runner Up at NCAA Indoor National Championship
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.-The lone Oral Roberts representative at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship, Jack Whitt claimed second in the pole vault on Friday at the Randal Tyson Track Center.
Whitt moved up one place from his third-place finish at the indoor championships a year ago, but had higher hopes after winning the outdoor national championship. With the finish, Whitt has now earned All-American honors six times and has never finished lower than sixth at an NCAA Championship.
Passing at two of the first three heights, Whitt cruised early on, missing just once on his first five attempts, becoming one of just four people to clear 5.60m (18-4 ½). In order to win, Whitt would have had to shatter his own school and Southland record that he set two weeks ago at the Southland Conference Championships (5.61m).
With the defending indoor champion from Arkansas, Andrew Irwin, getting stronger and clearing each of the next two heights on his first attempt, Whitt had no choice but to pass and wait for Irwin to miss. He finally did so at 18-10 ¼, which would be five inches above the recent record so Whitt took to the runway again hoping his strategy would pay off.
Whitt was unable to clear the bar on his attempts, and took silver with a final height of 18-4 ½, while Irwin successfully defended his indoor title at 18-8 ¼.
Whitt and the Golden Eagles will now turn their attention to the outdoor season as they face Tulsa on March 16 for the Tulsa Duels.

"Crusader Kings 2" (CK2) covers, not surprisingly, the time period of the Crusades. The geographic scope is also limited to Europe and the Middle East, the major players in the Crusades. One could always play as Ireland or another minor power in hopes of avoiding getting drawn into the titular conflict, but any nation of any size is going to hear the call of "Deus Vult" (or "Jihad", depending on which side you're on)
Given this focus it was odd that the original game did not allow one to play as any of the merchant republics. It is the aim of this expansion "Crusader Kings 2: The Republic" (CK2:R) to add these vital players to the game. These republics (especially Venice, Genoa, and Pisa) played a large role in the success and failure of the different Crusades. In particular, the republics provided two vital components every crusading army required: money and ships.
The basis of most economies at the time (in particular, the economies simulated by CK2) was land. In particular, agricultural land, the people who worked it, and all the technologies of husbandry, warfare, and transportation that came along with it. This made for a static society where most warfare was based on attrition, whether in the field or at siege.
The basis of the merchant republic economies, on the other hand, was trade. This made for a lot of travel by boat for long distances. Seaborne trade encourages different technologies: not just better boats, but navigation, governance, financial instruments, and naval warfare. Most of all it meant that the republics had a bunch of money.
It may seem like this would be a good position to be in. You'll start off as the Doge of Venice and the money will just flow right in. This is so much better than vanilla CK2, where there was never any money and you had to sit around forever before you'd saved up enough to build anything! As a bonus, rather than territories, your primary bases are trade posts. These are pretty resilient, weathering invasions and counter-invasions and making money the whole time. Turns out war can be good for business.
The game starts out pretty well, then. You're bringing in a bunch of money, and spending it on building new trade posts to expand your trading empire. The more trade posts you have the more money comes in. This is great until one of your rivals steals a trade post from you. Every republic has a set of prominent families and it is these families that actually build/own the trade posts for that republic. If one family has enough money it can make a bid to steal a trade post from a rival family.
This is just one facet of the internal politics of the republic. Although there is one "leader" who handles diplomacy, warfare and other nation-like things, each of the 5 or so rival families wants to have one of their number be the leader. When the current leader dies there is an election to determine who the next one will be. The most "successful" family wins, where success is a mix of longevity, trade posts, money spent on the election, and luck. Of course, you'd like your family to win. In a sense this nation-type has traded off succession crises for election crises.
In CK2 it was always possible to buy off rivals by appointing them count of somewhere or having them killed, but that is not an option in CK2:R. The rival families are always there. You can kill a particularly popular rival, perhaps, or try to steal away a vital trade post, but there is no way to permanently remove this competition. You've traded constant war over land for constant inter-republic intrigue.
The defining characteristic of CK2, the constant scheming to get well-married, is still here. It''s not quite as important, given that what you really want is trade posts and not land, but it's still a good idea to keep friendly relations with the powerful, land-owning neighbors. Do well enough and you may even be able to get one to shut down the trade posts of your enemies through a trade embargo. This is a devastating move and will shut your enemy down for decades.
Another benefit of being on good terms is that you don't have much in the way of armies. Sure, boats are nice, but when armies roll up to your ports, bad things can happen if you don't have your own head-bashers. You'll never have enough manpower to really make a dent against the land powers, so having one on your side is a good idea. Failing that, there are always mercenaries. As a republic you will (almost) always have more money than your enemies so will be able to hire more mercenaries.
Mercenaries have their own problems, of course. They're expensive (especially in the long run) and maybe not quite that loyal. This goes to the heart of being a republic – you have a lot of money, but need to spend a lot of money to keep going. It's like being a capitalist surrounded by feudalists.
Which goes to the heart of the problem with CK2:R – it doesn't feel that well-integrated with the original game. It was pretty clear what one wanted to do in CK2: stabilize your kingdom, marry your bloodline into successful families, expand your territory, and put relatives into positions of power. CK2:R plays differently: you spend a lot of time setting up trade routes, building/upgrading trade posts, and inter-republic intrigue. It can feel almost as if the rest of the world is playing a different game.
It's not that being a republic is a bad way to play the game, it's just different. Some more work could have been done to integrate the two playing styles into the same world. It can feel like the grand sweep of history is something that's going on without you, that your republic is just making money off what's going on rather than taking part in it. If you're the kind of gamer who is interested in building an empire without the constant blood-and-guts warfare of the Crusading era this is a welcome option. If you prefer a more hands-on role, the standard nations are still there.
In summary, "Crusader Kings 2: The Republic" adds a host of new game mechanics to the original in order to reflect the unique situation trading republics found themselves in during the Crusades. These new mechanics do a good job of making republics different and interesting to play, but do not integrate as well as might be desired with the original game.
